What happened in Turkish football today? 23/08/2021

 


Luyindama brought winning goal against Hatayspor

Cristian Luyindama 1st goal in the Super League which did come as header at 88nd minute did bring 3 points against Hatayspor which did end up being pretty tough game for them as been expected prior to game.

With Galatasaray still not reaching into high level as it been cases in recent years at the start of the seasons, and Hatayspor being organised sides which try to always show positive performance it has been expected to be turning into tough game and conceding goal at the start of the game without doubt did make tasks for them even much more difficult as Hatayspor did provide even more controllable but still attacking time. However, it needs to be noted that despite of conceding goal on early stage Galatasaray did manage to get control of the game which led them to score on 30th minute. However, despite of getting some opportunities in overall game has been played at low tempo. Galatasaray did play in such tempo but did rise pressure during 2nd half with getting much higher tempo towards end of the game with finding goal thanks to great header from Cristian Luyindama as he did provide strong performance after extending contract.

Despite of conceding in the end of the game, it needs to be noted that Hatayspor did play for most of the time was playing in the tempo which been suitable for them but did lose control of the game in the end of the game.

Galatasaray is being among 4 sides which ended 2nd week with 2 out of 2 as it didnt provide very good game but provided strong fighting spirit and focus for the game with getting 3 points against tough opponents.

Trabzonspor continues shoing strong attacking game with beating Sivasspor.

Trabzonspor has won Super League 2nd week game with 2:1 scoreline against Sivasspor which did end up being pretty strong and competitive performance from both sides as it been pretty exciting 2nd half game.

With both sides currently aiming to get into Conference League group stage it was expected to be highly-fought game with both sides showing high level performance. It needs to be noted however that Trabzonspor been side which did provide much better start with providing attacking game with looking into oppotinities which did lead them to get into penalty position on 15th minute which been converted by Bakasetas at the hand ball position which been to some extend debatable as player did protect his body from ball. In fact, Trabzonspor has been better side on 1st half with showing strong attacking game but in 2nd half Sivasspor especially scoring a well-fought ball after missed penalty and other opportunity did bring them goal which led for Sivasspor but Trabzonspor with preventing Sivasspor to score 2nd goal also aimed to find 3rd.

Sivasspor it needs to be mentioned didnt start game in strong manner but goal which came in 70th minute and did provide attacking open game. Even through Sivasspor did lose its last 4 games, it still has shown some positive game as good signs for upcoming weeks.

Trabzonspor continues showing good games especially with attacking game and hence it did turn around performance from last season and does look to be side which would be diffcult to beat.

Fenerbahce continues to win game despite of some squad absences.

Fenerbahce has got tough and crucial win against Antalyaspor during Super League 2nd week game thanks to goals in the end of the game from Miha Zajc and Valencia and continues not to be conceding from 3 official games this season.

Even through it could be argued that Fenerbahce is showing very strong and dominant game so far, it needs to be remembred that it did come out to this game with some absences with Vitor Pereira without doubt has led players to be highly focussed and concentrated to get confident outcomes so far in this season. Stating that Antalyaspor did provide pretty passive game until end of the game as it start showing some attacking game and getting into very difficult conditions but Fenerbahce did provide very fast and organised counter-attacks which led them to get deserved win. Fenerbahce without doubt would now need to wait for key players to recover from injury and also it does need to have some transfers but with this conditions Pereira is doing very impressive job.

Fenerbahce to get wins but it would possibly have most tough game in next week against Altay and it would be interesting how side would perform against side which are in great form and morale.
